For an easy dinner the whole family will love, try this simple 20-minute Sausage Pasta recipe. It's the perfect comfort food!
This tasty pasta dish is made with pasta, frankfurter sausages, red onion, tomato passata, heavy cream, and peas. Enjoy it hot or cold, for lunch or dinner, too!
You can use any sausage you like (mild or spicy Italian sausage, hotdogs, and chorizo would be equally tasty). Likewise, use whatever pasta you have to hand - you can even replace it with chunks of cooked potato, orzo, or rice.
Top with freshly grated parmesan and finely chopped basil. I love to add pomegranate arils too for a bit of sweetness.
